Snuggling
deep in a safe place
protecting our joy..
Inside this bubble
do we have a dream
we would like to share?
Is it to be closer to someone?
Is it to love our selves more in someone else?
Possibly
we can find a way...
In Asia they believe the deepest sense of self
comes through your family
with roots going way back
through countless generations
and the reincarnated wisdom of ancestors
as little lamas.
I believe
something connects us all
beyond anyone's wildest dreams.
and the key
is very simple.
This winter
in Ha Noi
artists joined together
at the Maison des Arts
in a salon
painting portraits
which became a kind of listening project.
While staring
we began to find
surprising beauties
within
and our painting
led others
to find new beauty in themselves
and so, we found
coming out of our old shells
the world's our oyster!
Back home now
with thanks again
to Nga, who brought
the dream out, alive
love and hugs
